It's still the best regular season ANY NFL team has had to date, and they can rag on Brady all the want...there isn't one NFL team that wouldn't put him on their roster in a heartbeat.
Patriot envy....it is spreading.
First of all, commenting that the article in question focuses too much on stats is just silly -- it's like reading something by Bill James and criticizing it for being too much about stats. As creator of the DVOA and DPAR metrics, statistical discourse is the sole reason why a site like foxsports wants to publish Schatz.
As for the weather issre, various performances this year have prompted Schatz to attempt to devise a way to add adjustments for weather in his stats. It should prove to be a tricky task to do with as much objectivity as possible. I'm curious to see what he'll come up with for '08.
IMO, judging from the splits between playing indoors vs. outdoors in most QBs, I imagine that the positive effect from playing half your games in a dome will turn out to be quite large.
